Yes. Once you've set it up, your phone will automatically pair with Carlinkit as soon as you start the car each time.
The battery consumption rate of the phone does not seem to be faster than usual. When your car is turned off, you will notice the device indicator light turning off, and it's almost certain that it won't drain the car battery. If you see the indicator light still on after your car is turned off, there's no need to worry. Our device is low-power, and there might be some residual current, but it will turn off after a short while.
Yes, when using our Carlinkit wireless Carplay adapter, the operating system functions the same as the original car, and all buttons, including Siri, can be used as usual.
You can use wireless connect through wifi or use wired connect by cable option.
This is a problem with communication protocol. BMW's head unit system is not unified with other car's head unit systems, so there is no way to be compatible. All BMW's wireless converters are always separate, and they are not suitable for adapters of other models.
If you still have any questions, please feel free to contact us and provide us with your order number. Thank you.
I'm very happy with this product.my new Rockwood Fosgate radio on my motorcycle only had apple car play and I have an android fun.so now my android auto works great with your product thank you so much
Works well, not as fully integrated as other vehicles yet
I'm happy with the product, it definitely works as advertised. Tesla seems to only allow one sound source so you can't have directions or alerts take priority on car streaming like other vehicles. Also need to be careful as Tesla's don't always shut off so if your in range, can drain your data even when your not in car.. Also need regular reconnections. Glad I got it but not quite as smooth as non-tesla setup.
